Three hours in the pool, rigorous weight training and cycling classes help explain the Olympic swimming hopeful's 9:30 bed time.
Rachel Bootsma knows that if she wants to beat the world's best swimmers, she has to get a jump on the sunrise first. It isn't easy to leave a warm bed at 6 a.m. and drive in the dark to a suburban gym. But you can't hit the snooze button if you want to make the Olympic team, which was all the motivation the Eden Prairie swimmer needed on a frosty Friday morning.
Coach Kate Lundsten has mapped out a detailed course toward June's Olympic trials, when Bootsma, 18, will try to make the U.S. team in the 100-meter backstroke. Six days a week, Bootsma spends about three hours in the pool. She does an indoor cycling class on Tuesdays and Saturdays. And three mornings a week, she meets personal trainer Blake Freese for a 30- to 45-minute workout that targets her fast-twitch muscle fibers.
"I was a pretty dedicated kid,'' said Freese, who played football at Eden Prairie and Minnesota State Mankato before a brief pro career. "But when you see the work she's putting in, it's unbelievable.''
Freese's job is to train her lower body to deliver the quick burst of power a sprinter needs, particularly on starts and turns. While the 9-to-5 crowd sweats through its morning workouts, he and Bootsma head to a quiet part of the gym. She braces her upper back against a weight bench and places her feet flat on the floor, then steels herself as Freese lays a bar -- with about 68 pounds of iron and 40 pounds of heavy-gauge chain on each end -- across her lower abdomen.
Bootsma's legs tremble as she repeatedly thrusts her hips upward, completing her first set of the nonstop circuit. After a workout that includes push-ups with her shins resting on an exercise ball, rapid vertical jumps and other drills, Freese added some notes to the thick chart he keeps on a client who still is discovering her potential as an athlete.
In the fall of 2010 -- just before her 17th birthday -- Bootsma committed herself to doing whatever was necessary to join the uppermost ranks of American swimmers. Since then, she has become the third-fastest woman in history in the 100-yard backstroke, finished second in the 100-meter back at last summer's national championships and won two gold medals at last fall's Pan American Games.
The highly self-directed teen gets to bed by 9:30 every night. She is often on her way to the gym before her parents have put the coffee on. It takes a serious bout with a cold or the flu to keep her out of the pool, and even then, just one day on the couch makes her feel lazy.
"Some days, I'm so motivated and so on fire to work that I want to stay late,'' Bootsma said. "Other days, it's hard to get through it. But it's always in the back of your mind that everyone else is training and they want the same thing you want.
"There's not a day or an hour that goes by when I'm not thinking about my ultimate goal. I know I won't get there if I don't work hard. I know I won't get there if I don't make the right choices every day. That keeps me motivated.''
40,000 yards a week
Bootsma's training regimen is similar to that of other elite swimmers. She has been lifting weights and logging long hours in the pool since she was 13. Last fall, she added the cycling classes after learning that the swim team at the University of California, Berkeley -- which she will join in the fall -- does them to supplement endurance.
While many swimmers focus on high-yardage training, Lundsten emphasizes technique. Bootsma averages about 40,000 yards a week in the pool, with three days a week dedicated to sprinting. On the other three days, she refines her strokes, puts in more distance and does drills using resistance bands, buckets and medicine balls.
Though strength and stamina are important, Lundsten said, swimmers must strive for ideal technique so they can maximize their efficiency in the water. She scrutinizes Bootsma's form and rhythm throughout her workouts, while Bootsma fine-tunes the skills she will use in her races. Lundsten also devotes significant time to kicking, one of Bootsma's greatest strengths.
In a typical sprint workout, Bootsma will do sets of 100- or 200-yard swims in which she sprints for part of the distance, then rests for 15 seconds before going full-speed again.
"My races are 2 minutes, 15 seconds, max,'' she said. "You need to have an explosive start, react quickly and go all-out for a short period of time. And I need to hold my technique together at the end of the race, when I'm falling apart. All my training is geared toward that.''
That includes her work with Freese. When he began training her about 18 months ago, he wanted to create workouts specifically designed to build the explosive power she lacked. Freese wasn't familiar with swimming's mechanics, so he came to the pool, both to observe and to get in the water himself and develop a feel for it.
In close consultation with Lundsten, he drew up a menu of exercises. Freese, like Lundsten, constantly monitors how Bootsma feels and how she is performing, then tailors her workouts accordingly. He documents everything in a three-ring binder, so he can track the patterns that produce good results.
Freese stressed that the workouts aren't about raw strength, because Bootsma isn't competing in weightlifting. The object is to get her muscles firing quickly, allowing her to react swiftly and powerfully.
"What we're trying to do is teach her muscles how to do something,'' he said. "The second she jumps into the pool, she shouldn't have to think at all. She can just push. And she's such a good athlete that her body can pick up and understand these movements very quickly.''
Since starting with Freese, Bootsma said, the added strength has helped her technique. She can catch and hold more water, propelling her more efficiently with fewer strokes.
The fast-twitch workouts also have improved Bootsma's time and distance off the starting blocks, as well as her power off the walls -- which made a huge difference at last summer's national championships.
"At the start of the 100 back, she slipped,'' Lundsten recalled. "She was probably three-fourths of a body length behind before she even got going, but she was able to fight back. That night in the finals, her turn was the fastest in the world. That was that firing, that fast-twitch that Blake talks about. She's risen to a different level.''
A team affair
Bootsma laughs at the notion that swimming is an individual sport. She would not be making a run for the Olympic team without the help of each of her coaches and trainers, she said, and she might not be swimming at all if not for her Aquajets teammates.
Lundsten believes the dull, repetitive nature of the sport would have driven Bootsma to quit if she trained alone. But she usually shares the pool with a crowd of other young athletes, making practices both social and competitive.
"When she made the decision to swim, she became very self-motivated,'' Lundsten said. "But when she's by herself, she hates it.''
During a practice last month, Bootsma spent some of her time in the water chatting with teammates. She spent part of her time sizing them up, too.
When she sees another swimmer becoming faster, it inspires her to do the same, as does tracking the times of other elite swimmers around the country. Even in her cycling class -- where a video screen displays the calories burned, heart rate and other statistics for six bikes in the front row -- Bootsma usually is chasing something.
"Everyone's always racing during practice,'' she said. "There's always that unspoken thing of 'I beat you' or 'You beat me.' They push me every single day. And we're all here for each other. That makes things so much easier.''
In most years, Bootsma aims to peak for one major meet in the summer and one in the winter. This year, she is entirely focused on the Olympic trials. She has continued to train hard until a couple of days before the four meets she is competing in this spring, and she will not scale back until a few weeks before the trials begin June 25.
At that point, Bootsma might finally hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. Maybe.
"I only have one class at school and two online right now, so I can be really focused on swimming,'' she said. "That's how we planned it. I know what I have to do.''

No wonder already cancelled in S1 not a patch on american horror story. Why bother making a scary TV series if it's safe for kids to watch. Typical of the ABC network or is it the one season network and the funny thing is could you imagine what Showtime ,A.M.C. or even Fox would have done with this show, then it would be worth watching.

"Music plays. Dad appears. I walk with him, eyes fastened to the floor. When I look up, something is very wrong. There are three grooms."
This is the story of Quinn—born Prudence Quinn O'Malley—a confused young Manhattan attorney who loses her father on that tragic September morning that changed everything. Now, at an existential crossroads in her life, Quinn must confront impossible questions about commitment and career, love and loss. Her idealistic beau desperately wants a wedding, and whisks her away to Paris just to propose. But then Quinn has a dream featuring judges and handcuffs and Nietzsche and Britney . . . and far too many grooms. Suddenly, her future isn't so clear. Quinn's world has become a minefield of men—some living, some gone, and traversing it safely is going to take a lot more than numerous glasses of pinot grigio.
Life After Yes is a blisteringly honest, thoroughly modern tale of life and love in chaos, marking the arrival of a truly exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.

Texas Firefighter Shocked at Blaze
Jacksonville Lt. David Glidewell says he is lucky to be alive after receiving an electrical shock while battling a house fire on Tuesday night.
Crews responded to an electrical box fire in a garage of a home on the 900 block of Fort Worth at approximately 7:30 p.m. After assessing the incident, they decided to cut through a wall access the flames.
Glidewell was operating his chainsaw when he cut through the wall and into a conduit that had power still running through it. The shock sent 120 Volts of electricity through his body.
"We shut all the breakers off but some of them had fused together," he said. "I just got in too deep and it lit me up pretty good."
He never lost consciousness, but was knocked onto his back after being shocked.
"I felt it come up into my arms. A few seconds later I realized what happened. I started having trouble breathing and started hyperventilating."
He was transported by an ambulance to the East Texas Medical Center in Jacksonville and was treated and released a few hours later and was back at work today.
"It was divine intervention. Someone was watching out for me," he said. "It goes to show just how dangerous our jobs can be."

PurePressed Base
"I never leave home without this product. In fact, it's the one I would choose if I were stranded on a desert island. It does exactly what it says – a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen in one. It gives great coverage but feels weightless. It's been our most important product since 1997, and I'm sure it will remain that way."
tint today. tan tomorrow.
"My goal was to develop a natural self tanner with absolutely no drawbacks, no negatives. Once I felt I had accomplished that goal with Tantasia, I decided to include a bronzer in the formula as well. You could say that Tantasia is a bit of an overachiever."
"I've always loved the smoky eyes that my friends achieved using kohl. Unfortunately, the traditional kohl has many nasty ingredients in it, so the challenge was to get the same effect with ingredients that we could live with. And we did it. Mystikol is a liner that can be worn intense or smudged and it doesn't fade out. It truly lasts until you remove it. I wear it every day – even all over my lid sometimes as a shadow. With the highlighter on one end it means that when I'm travelling I can just pop it in my bag and go."
Longest Lash Mascara
"I started to get very excited about the fibers available now to add to mascara that give thickness and length to the lashes. So I pumped them into this mascara. We also made a formula loaded with algae extracts and eliminated a lot of the water that mascara usually contains. This produced a mascara that not only stays on but also aids the health of the lashes. I always recommend applying our Lash Conditioner under the mascara because it eliminates any dryness and adds so much bulk to the lashes."

Still worrying about the threat of television, Hollywood moviemakers last week struck a blow for the nation's movie exhibitors. The Motion Picture Association of America had a scheme for bypassing the living room menaceand TV broadcasters as well. M.P.A. tiptoed up to the Federal Communications Commission and quietly asked for a private TV "highway in the sky."
The request is technically feasible: an exclusive channel in the ultra-high-frequency wave band over which M.P.A. could televise both movies and public events directly to U.S. theaters. With TV broadcasters mulling over the M.P.A. scheme, FCC slated hearings on it for later this month.

How does he afford that shit.. Has he made that much money riding? Dude has been a ghost for a while in the competition scene.. Hyper can't be paying that well
- Houses aren't that expensive in South FL (market collapsed in last 5 years). In fact, according to Zillow, he only paid about $532K for it.
- He's won or placed pretty good in contests in the last 10 years
- He has roommates (probably charged them rent - I know I would)
- He has sponsors
Makes perfect sense to me

There's definitely people on BV that care about this, but a typical rap post, rather than being ignored by the disinterested, gets hateful spam posts by trust fund race-tards.

Simon Potts purchased this apartment in 2000
I built the house in Hanalei as this region of the island of Kauai became my go-to destination for rejuvination and relaxation during my heady music biz career.
The house is 30 seconds to Hanalei Bay and a ten minute slow walk into town.
The island of Kauai is our favorite vacation destination. It's unspoiled natural beauty captivates us every year that we visit. The Hanalei Surfboard House is the most unique and comforting rental on Kauai and the only place we choose to stay. This private secluded property has great state-of-the art amenities, is clean, well-maintained, and is conveniently located within a few minutes from hiking, beaches, restaurants, and local grocery stores. Parking is up-front, and the owner/host is always welcoming and excellent with recommendations for activities. We are expecting to book in Dec for our next Kauai vacation. We recommend an early booking since Hanalei is a popular destination spot.
Thank you!
We spent a wonderful week in the Cowgirl Suite where not a detail was missed. Everything you could ever think of needing was there. From a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom and beach gear to great music and a white noise machine. The location is perfect and walkable to both the beach and town. Simon was the most gracious and informative host. All of his recommendations were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed our chats with him and this lovely location. We will return. PS. The garden was beautiful. Mahalo, Simon. Paul & Mary
We stayed at The Hanalei Surfboard House for a week this Oct. The location was excellent, we were looking for a place with a true local feel (get away from the standard american resorts) and great accommodations. We stayed in the Love Shack - room highly recommended! It has excellent beach/surf/rock-n-roll decor in a private setting w/ private entrance (great place for couples). The location is great beach access about a 30 second walk to Pine Trees surf break/ Hanalei Bay. Simon the owner/host was very gracious, upon arriving he set me up with a neighbor to get a board for the week, gave us the run down on the great local restaurants / famers markets. Overall we had a great experience at the Hanalei Surfboard House it provided the laid back while maintaining an extremely active vacation with local feel that we were looking for. We stayed the last two nights on the island at the St. Regis in Princeville , while accommodations at the St Regis are nice, they where nothing compared to the Hanalei Surfboard House which provide a more personal touch and local feel, we found ourselves leaving the St. regis every morning to go back down near the Surfboard house beach which was much more relaxing and local. Highly recommend Simon and his dream vacation rental property he has created.

The Elvis suite had everything we needed for the perfect beach retreat! Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, big comfy beach towels, coolers- everything! The kitchen too was complete with everything we needed to cook delicious fresh seafood from the nearby dolphin restaurant, as well as blend up delicious piña coladas with local Koloa rum. The king size bed was so comfortable with high quality sheets. And the shower, both indoor and outdoor was the best I've ever had! Simon was such a gracious and hospitable host. He made sure we had everything we needed and was available to answer any questions about the area. The beach is literally a 30 second walk from the house and Hanalei bay is the most beautiful beach. This is THE area to stay on Kauai and the surf board house with its ideal location and endless amenities is the perfect place to stay. My husband and I will be back soon!!!
We stayed in the cowgirl suite for 8 nights and absolutely loved it. The description is spot on, lovely garden entrance, very helpful and accommodating owner, every amenity you could need in the suite. The house was clean and comfortable, and very stylish, which made it enjoyable to stay in on the one very rainy day we had. We grilled at the house multiple nights, using the grill on the lanai. We liked those dinners even better than going out, especially using Simon's recommendation on where to buy fresh fish, he has lots of helpful recommendations for the area. The view is gorgeous, something we never stopped enjoying. The house is located, like it says, just a minute walk to the beach and also not a far walk to main downtown Hanalei. Its so nice to have the things you can't pack to take to the beach, like boogie boards, chairs, mats, etc... When you need a break from the heat, the ac in the suite is amazing, especially at night. This is the best place to stay, we would say, in all of Kauai. It doesn't get any more comfortable or convenient. We will definitely be returning.
We have been vacationing in Hawaii for years. Kauai is our favorite Island. We always stay on the North Shore as it is the most beautiful. We have stayed at other Vacation rentals as well as hotels. Nothing compares to The Hanalei Surfboard House. It is located in the heart of Hanalei. Walking distance to world renowned beaches, great places to eat, the best local farmers market and a great little health food store. There is tons of great little shops to shop at too. Simon is a great host! The property is so well maintained and private while accommodating us with everything we needed. From our own BBQ on our lanai to boogie boards and beach chairs. We could not have felt more relaxed or comfortable in the Cowgirl room. We have booked The Hanalei Surf Board House for next year already. Why stay anywhere else?!

Xbox One Launches in November for $499
The Xbox One, Microsoft's next-generation gaming and media console, hits shelves this fall. Will gamers bite?
Kicking off the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles today, Microsoft finally revealed when consumers can expect to buy the company's new cloud-connected, social-enabled video game console, the Xbox One. Games were the focus of Microsoft's June 10 media event. After previewing several exclusive Xbox One titles, which are set to be released this year and during 2014, Microsoft Game Studios Vice President Phil Spencer took to the stage to announce the Xbox One release window. Spencer prefaced the announcement by recalling the May 21 Xbox One reveal at Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Wash. "Three weeks ago, we shared our vision for Xbox One. We unveiled an ambitious system built for a modern, connected living room," he said. He went on to disclose that the "Xbox One will launch this November in 21 markets around the world." In the U.S., the Xbox One, which comes bundled with an updated Kinect motion controller, will cost $499. In Europe, it will be priced at 499 euros, while buyers in the U.K. can expect to spend 429 pounds.

American Literature
The following sample questions do not appear on an actual CLEP examination. They are intended to give potential test-takers an indication of the format and difficulty level of the examination and provide content for practice and review. For more sample questions and information about the test, see the CLEP Official Study Guide.
Question 2 of 8
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray,
The while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
Lines 7-8 ("My love…recompense.") are best paraphrased by which of the following?
We love each other intensely, but will eventually have to pay the price for our love.
I ought to love you more than I do, but I am already consumed with love for someone else.
If you loved me as much as I love you, I would be happier than the richest person alive.
My love for you is strong, but its intensity changes according to how much I think you love me.
My love for you is all-consuming and can only be satisfied by your loving me in return.

Cassie Gaines | |
Also known as | Cassie Gaines |
Born | Seneca, Missouri |
January 9, 1948
Died | October 20, 1977 Gillsburg, Mississippi |
(aged 29)
Genres | Southern rock |
Years active | 1975–1977 |
Labels | MCA |
Associated acts | Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Honkettes |
Cassie LaRue Gaines (January 9, 1948 – October 20, 1977) was an American singer, best known for her work with Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Gaines was invited by JoJo Billingsley and Ronnie Van Zant to join Lynyrd Skynyrd as a backup singer. She had never heard of Skynyrd at the time, so JoJo lent to her a copy of the band's first two albums: (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) and Second Helping. In late 1975, Cassie, JoJo, and Leslie Hawkins became The Honkettes, a female gospel vocal trio for Skynyrd.
When Lynyrd Skynyrd was in need of a guitar player to replace recently departed Ed King, Cassie recommended her younger brother, Steve, who joined the band soon after.
On October 20, 1977, a plane carrying the band between shows from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crashed outside of Gillsburg, Mississippi. The crash killed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, as well as pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray.
Cassie Gaines and Steve Gaines were buried in Orange Park, Florida. They are the subject of the 2001 song "Cassie's Brother" by alt-country band Drive-By Truckers.
On February 15, 1979,[1] Steve's and Cassie's mother, also named Cassie LaRue Gaines, was killed in an automobile accident near the cemetery where Steve and Cassie are buried. She was buried near her children.

B110A moved to the UK and now I can't find 564 cartridges for it! Everywhere I look, it's 364?!

My printer is CN245 - B110A, but it is not the UK model , even though the model no is identical… I bought this in Hong Kong and I believe it is the same as the US model. On the printer body it says it takes 564 cartridges. I went online to purchase cartridges and just typed in my model no, and the site told me I can use 364 so I went ahead and bought some only to find that they're not actually compatible...
I heard that you could maybe reset the regionalization setting of some sort and perhaps make it work. Does anyone know about this? I called HP and the Peter with perfect indian accent did not even understand what I was asking about, asked me what computer I'm using, whether it's printing or not, and completely ignored what I was explaining. In the end he just told me to call the cartridge department... HP needs to train their staff better.
HP probably should warn customers on their website about this because I had no idea until I was told to research on this before opening the cartridges! I am losing out on postage on returns if I send them back because of this, it seems to be a common issue with HP printers, that they are region dependent and is not uncommon for customers to get incompatible cartridges if they had moved from another country, even though the model no is correct…
I honestly don't see any justifiable cause for producing printers with the same model no to use different cartridges. If I cannot use 364 cartridges and end up having to buy the 564s from overseas or amazon paying twice the price, that would permanently terminate my trust in HP and its products.

NY-26: Hochul Wins by Tarring Corwin with GOP Medicare Phase-Out Budget |
By: David Dayen Wednesday May 25, 2011 6:10 am |
Democrat Kathy Hochul's victory in NY-26 last night shows the impact of a tremendous House GOP overreach, one that could easily cost them control of the chamber next year.
NY-26: Corwin Gets Court Order to Stop Certification of Race |
By: David Dayen Tuesday May 24, 2011 3:25 pm |
The special election in NY-26, which has been dominated by headlines about the Paul Ryan budget to end Medicare, will end at 9pm ET tonight. Jane Corwin isn't waiting to take precautions: she's already got herself a court order barring certification of a winner.
NY-26: Desperate Corwin Flip-Flops on Medicare Phase-Out |
By: David Dayen Monday May 23, 2011 6:55 am |
A second poll confirms that Kathy Hochul is likely to win the special election tomorrow in NY-26, an upset pickup in a red district in upstate New York. Like the Siena poll, Public Policy Polling finds that Hochul has increased her lead over Jane Corwin even as third-party candidate Jack Davis drops off.
NY-26: Outside Money Pours In as Hochul Vows to Protect Safety Net |
By: David Dayen Wednesday May 11, 2011 9:31 am |
With all three candidates financially viable, how will the race shake out? The presence of Davis makes it harder to claim that this is a referendum on Medicare privatization. However, I do think you can say what Josh Kraushaar says, that this has refocused attention on the actual desires of Republicans, which are broadly unpopular.
NY-26: Democrat Within Striking Distance in Red Seat on Strength of Opposition to Ryan Budget |
By: David Dayen Saturday April 30, 2011 7:00 pm |
This race is a test case, if a somewhat imperfect one because of the third party effort, on the potency of the argument against dismantling social safety net programs. Clearly, voters are on Hochul's side on that issue, and she has been working to frame the race entirely around that. We shall see if that will carry the day. The election is May 24.

United Arab List
United Arab List | |
Hebrew name | הרשימה הערבית המאוחדת |
Arabic name | القائمة العربية الموحدة |
Leader | Ibrahim Sarsur |
Founded | 1996 |
Ideology | Israeli Arab interest, Islamism[1][2][3] |
Seats in Knesset |
3 / 120
Politics of Israel Political parties Elections |
The United Arab List (Hebrew: הרשימה הערבית המאוחדת, Reshima Aravit Me'uhedet; Arabic: القائمة العربية الموحدة, al-Qā'ima al-'Arabiyya al-Muwaḥḥada ), commonly known in Israel by its Hebrew acronym Ra'am (Hebrew: רע"מ), is an Israeli Arab political party representing and supported by Israeli Arabs. It is not related to the original United Arab List which existed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The party has run on a joint list with Ta'al since the 2006 elections.. For the 2015 elections, United Arab List joined with Hadash, Balad, Ta'al, and the Islamic Movement to form the Joint List.[4]
The party was established prior to the 1996 elections, and was joined in an electoral alliance by the Arab Democratic Party (which held two seats in the outgoing parliament) and the southern faction of the Islamic Movement. The party initially went under the title of Mada-Ra'am, Mada being the acronym and common name for the Arab Democratic Party. In the elections, the party won four seats. During the Knesset term, the Arab Democratic Party became a faction within the United Arab List, and its name was dropped from the party title.
The next elections saw the party increase its share of the vote and pick up five seats. However, internal disagreements saw three MKs leave; Muhamad Kanan and Tawfik Khatib left and established the Arab National Party, whilst Hashem Mahameed formed the National Unity – National Progressive Alliance party. In the 2003 elections the party's support dropped by more than a third, with the party only just crossing the electoral threshold of 2%, and winning only two seats.
For the 2006 elections the party entered an alliance with Ahmad Tibi's Ta'al party. Running together, the alliance won four seats, three of which were taken by the United Arab List. The partys' alliance was maintained for the 2009 elections, which initially saw the Israeli Central Elections Committee ban the party from participating,[5] but this was overturned by the Supreme Court of Israel.[6] In the elections, the alliance again won four seats. Shortly before the 2013 elections, el-Sana left the party to sit as an independent Arab Democratic Party member.
After the electoral threshold to gain Knesset seats was raised from 2% to 3.25%, the party joined with Hadash, Balad, Ta'al, and the Islamic Movement to form the Joint List.[4]
Ideology and support[edit]
The party supports the creation of a Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital; and equal rights for Arab citizens of Israel.
Its constituency consists mostly of religious or nationalist Israeli Arabs, and enjoys particular popularity among the Bedouin – in the 2009 elections, 80% of residents of Bedouin communities voted for the party.[7] The Islamic Movement also operates in poor Arab towns and villages, as well as in Bedouin settlements, to mobilize voters. The southern faction of the Islamic Movement is now the dominant force in the party, whilst other factions include the Arab National Party.

Here I am with another question. I am doing the same thing that Ingo did, namely making a devotional module in Polish. Your answer about markup will be helpful to me, too. But I have a question about encoding. I converted the txt file to UTF-8 but the text (in the devodional displayed on the dictionary tab) is displayed as raw UTF-8. I also tried the Central European Windows code page (cp-1250), also with incorrectly displayed characters as a result. This happens on the Sword Project for Windows, ver 1.5.6 Will appreciate your help. Regards, Piotr |

One of the things I love most about baseball is tomorrow is always a brand new day and you just need to move on no matter what the previous day's result. The Cubs torched the Brewers 19-5 on Wednesday night. By the time Thursday afternoon rolled around, that game meant nothing and the Brewers gave the Cubs a much more devastating loss. And if you don't believe that, all you had to do was listen to Chicago radio after the game yesterday.
Ben Sheets battled control problems on Tuesday night but showed that even walking a career-high 7 batters that he can still do enough on the mound to get the win. If Brandon Webb wasn't pitching lights-out, Sheets would be the early front runner for NL Cy Young winner.
Jeff Suppan did more than struggle. He was simply awful on Wednesday night. It doesn't concern me too much because Suppan is a veteran and should be able to bounce back. Now if he has similar results his next couple starts, I'll change my mind.
Yovani Gallardo continues to show why he will be the future ace of this staff. Three starts-three quality starts so far this season. Unfortunately, he has exactly zero wins to show for it.
Eric Gagne is quietly taking form as a dominant NL closer. He notched his eighth and ninth saves against the Cubs and as long as he's not used for more than three straight days, he is a true star at the end of the bullpen.
Rickie Weeks is finally batting over .200. Yes, we are five weeks into the season and that is simply unacceptable for a leadoff hitter, but his average seems to be constantly heading upward. He drew a walk in the ninth inning against the Cubs on Thursday but followed it up with running through Dale Sveum's stop sign at third base. Weeks was thrown out at home, possibly costing the Brewers an insurance run.
Ryan Braun seems like he is finally locked in at the plate. He homered off of Carlos Zambrano on Thursday and had three of the four RBI for the team. If he starts swinging the bat like last season, this team should catch a hot streak and vault into first place.
I was excited to finally see Mike Cameron in a Brewers' uniform on Tuesday night. He made an immediate impact with a double and a run scored in his first at bat. Cameron is off to a good start and although I know he will struggle at times and strike out a ton, he will provide guidance and leadership for the young Brewers that will prove to be invaluable.
This will probably be the last time I mention Derrick Turnbow as a Milwaukee Brewer player. Joe Dillion is on his way to Houston to join the team Friday night and Turnbow is the logical choice for Dillon to replace. GM Doug Melvin will do his best to trade Turnbow for anything, but the more likely scenario will see Turnbow given his outright relief. He became a rock star in Milwaukee but it's time for a divorce. Turnbow may be the biggest head case in the Majors right now and I hope a change in uniforms can help with his control and mental status. Thanks for the memories, D-Bow.
The Brewers now head to Houston for a three game series against the Astros. Carlos Villanueva takes the mound and will face Houston's ace, Roy Oswalt.

HOWLING BLOODY MURDER SUE OWENS WRIGHT ISBN: 13-9780373267026 March 2010 Worldwide Library, an imprint of Harlequin Enterprises Limited www.eharlequin.com $5.99-USA/ $6.99-CAN 252 Pages Mystery Rating: 4 Cups
Elsinore "Beanie" MacBean is known for her delicious veggie chili, her job as a journalist, her sleuthing ability, and her basset hound, Cruiser. A vicious attack hits Lake Tahoe and has everyone trying to figure out who, or what, killed the victim.
Skip Cassidy is a good cop but thanks to one silly mistake, he is known as hop-along Cassidy. Whenever there is a mystery to be solved, he knows he can depend on Elsie.
Elsie's daughter, Nona, is coming home for Thanksgiving, and she is bringing her new boyfriend. But he is not quite what this journalist is expecting. On top of that, the murders continue to escalate and the clues falling into place are stumping Skip and Elsie. Can they solve the crime before someone close to Elsie loses their life?
Howling Bloody Murder is an immense story, one that has the presence of being a great mystery in an almost otherworldly way. I love how Ms. Wright incorporates Elsie's everyday routine with her dog, her life, her daughter, and her friendship with Skip in this tale. The missing shoes and powder mystified me and my mind kept thinking of Scooby-Doo shows and how the culprits were in disguise. You will enjoy this tale whether you are a fan of Ms. Wright, Cruiser, Elsie, or just a cozy mystery.

What's This, a Frog Who Doesn't Like Mud?
For Friday, May 12, 2006It was a messy night at Hawthorne on Thursday night as the sloppy track affected the outcome of several races. With the headwind in the stretch gusting up to 25 mph, the front-end and first-over were not the places to be. All the winners came from a covered up position as even the favored horses had a difficult time dealing with the conditions unless they got a favorable journey.
We began the evening watching our race two exacta finish out of contention. Our next bet came in race six and on that bet we scored on a $5 exacta play with Cole Swift and Joy Of The Sport that added $55 to our bankroll. In race eight, our straight wager on Falcatraz ended up in the trash basket as he stopped in the last 1/16th after looking like a winner. Our last play in race nine was washed out when Sporty Lola was scratched. All told, we wagered $90 and received a return of $55.
Original Bankroll: $2,000
Total Wagered: $778
Total Return: $834.80
Current Bankroll: $2,056.80 (thru Thursday, 5/11)
Race Two:�� Big turnaround for Shadow Of Lighting in his last start when dropped to this level. Looks to be a major contender. Get Real impressive in all 3 lifetime starts. Should handle minor class advance. Let�s box these two in an exacta play.

Total Wager:� $20
Race Three:� Free going for her 5th victory in a row and has beaten most of these in that run. Bow Wow Wine looks to be a major threat with her big late kick. We�ll use both in exacta and trifecta plays.
$10 Exacta Box � Bow Wow Wine (1) and Free (2)��� 1-2� 2-1
$2 Trifecta Key � Bow Wow Wine (1) and Free (2) on top with those two and No Bark All Bite (3) and Join The Party (4)��� 1-2 with 1-2-3-4
Total Wager:� $44
Race Seven:� Tropical Fantasy was parked a long way on opening night and was still right there at the wire. An easier trip makes him a winner. It�s a straight up play.
$20 Win & $20 Place on Tropical Fantasy (1)
Total Wager:� $40Race Eight: ��Street Dancer and Sherri On Ice were both impressive winners in their elim and figure to battle for the White Sox crown. Gro and Greek Wine also raced well in the elims and should be close in the end. Let�s key these four in an exacta.
$5 Exacta Key � Street Dancer (2) and Sherri On Ice (4) on top with themselves and Gro (3) and
Greek Wine (9) in the two hole.
$5 Exacta Box � Street Dancer (2) and Sherri On Ice (4)
Total Wager:� $40

Fare increases, route changes and service cuts are on the table as Link Transit plans for an $850,000 shortfall next year. Changes in fares and service are a must because the board voted Dec. 21 not to ask voters to raise sales tax to help run the bus system. Board members felt the public would not support a tax increase while the country is in a recession. The board probably will vote on changes to service and fares by early to mid-spring. The changes would go into effect in October. Listen to KOZI at 93.5FM or 1230AM for more.

In the 1967 film "Cool Hand Luke," Paul Newman became the first star of a major studio picture to successfully cross over from the ranks of Hollywood leading men to hero of the counter-culture. Beating "The Graduate" into theaters by two months, and "Easy Rider" by two years, Newman's character is so authority-averse that he endures savage beatings in prison simply because he refuses to knuckle under.
When Luke wins a big poker pot on a bluff, one of his tormentors sneers at his willingness to risk everything on nothing but bravado. "Yeah, well," Luke replies, "sometimes nothin"can be a real cool hand."
For half a century, Paul Newman played the coolest hand in Hollywood, and when he died of cancer at his home in Westport, Conn. Friday at 83 it marked the end of a life so abundantly well-lived that it seemed surely to have required several men to pull it off.
In addition to the bluest eyes that ever lit up a movie screen, he was co-founder of one of America's most successful independent food companies — Newman's Own, which began with salad dressing and microwave popcorn, and rapidly expanded into organic foods. He was also one of the country's top philanthropists, donating all of the more than $220 million in profits from Newman's Own to charities.
Newman was a regular along pit lane at the San Jose Grand Prix as co-owner of the Newman/Haas/Lanigan racing team, and he was a successful race car driver himself for nearly two decades. Making it look easy (it isn't), Newman won the national amateur championship in a Triumph TR-6 in 1976, then he and two teammates finished second in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's most prestigious endurance race, in 1979.
But his proudest achievement may have been his 50-year marriage to actress Joanne Woodward. When asked about the durability of their marriage in the face of the temptations that come to any Hollywood leading man, Newman replied with characteristic dry wit. "Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?" .
From the beginning, Newman put sizzle in the sexuality of his characters, such as Hud, the unrepentant lout he played in 1963. "The only question I ever ask a woman," Hud says, "is 'What time is your husband coming home?'" White T-shirt sales went through the roof.
He was one of only five actors ever nominated for an Oscar in five different decades, finally winning the best actor award for which he was nominated seven times for his reprise of "Fast" Eddie Felson in "The Color of Money," Martin Scorsese's overlit, over-directed 1986 sequel to "The Hustler." The belated Oscar may have been a make-up award for Newman's performance in the original 1961 production, when he played Fast Eddie as a morally feral lone wolf.
"When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm really goin', I feel like a jockey must feel," Eddie says. "He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him...and he knows...just feels...when to let it go and how much....It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you know you're right."
hat Newman also made two of Hollywood's most successful buddy pictures should come as no surprise. Whether the likability of the criminals, cads and con men he often played was the residue of the method acting he learned at the Actors Studio in New York, or the effortless projection of his own personality, audiences recognized something distinctly human. And they adored him for it.
He was Hollywood's top box office star in 1969 and '70. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" remains the highest-grossing Western of all time, and "The Sting" made Newman and Robert Redford nearly as popular as Astaire and Rogers. Buddy pictures quickly became a genre unto themselves, although the crucial ingredient all other screen pairings lacked was the one actor audiences actually seemed to consider their buddy: Paul Newman.
And yet Newman just as often played loners, outsiders and heels. In an admiring review of the 1977 comedy "Slap Shot," New Yorker critic Pauline Kael said of Newman's skein of charming rogues, "Even when he plays a bastard, he's not a big bastard — only a callow, selfish one, like Hud....His likableness is infectious; nobody should ever be asked not to like Paul Newman."
He lacked the range, or the temerity, to attempt the classics like fellow method man Marlon Brando, but Newman had a good instinct for where the sweet spot of his talent lay. He was part of the generation of stars that succeeded Hollywood contract legends such as Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, though he actually missed his first turn as a matinee idol following a screen test for the 1955 film "East of Eden."
He and James Dean shot the test together, but Dean won the star-making role of Cal Trask, while Newman got the Warner Bros. booby prize as the lead in "The Silver Chalice—" a flop so spectacular that he later took an ad in Variety to apologize for his performance.
Dean was also set to star in the 1956 adaptation of middle-weight boxing champion Rocky Graziano's life, "Somebody Up There Likes Me," but when the young actor was killed in a car accident before the start of production, the part went to Newman. He made the most of the opportunity, turning Graziano into a lovable lug and the picture into a hit.
Newman's nervy style came to him naturally. He was thrown out of Ohio University for throwing a beer keg through the window of the college president's car, and was tossed off the Kenyon College football team after a bar fight landed him in jail overnight. He was Cool Hand Luke before there was a Luke.
Forced to return to Cleveland when his father died in 1950 to take over the family sporting goods business, he quickly sold it and enrolled at Yale drama school. "I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion," he told Time magazine in 1982. "I was running away from the sporting goods business."
When the roles he was offered in the early '70s became less challenging, he ran away from acting — particularly assembly-line garbage like "The Towering Inferno—" to pursue a new passion for driving race cars that had emerged while making the 1969 trackside drama "Winning."
His greatest performance was as the alcoholic ambulance-chaser Frank Galvin in the 1982 courtroom drama "The Verdict." Newman allowed his face to be photographed in a way that, for the first time, revealed the ravages of age, and he permitted himself to discover in the character the ravages of the soul that great acting can reveal. "It's so comforting not to have to be a movie star...," he said in an interview. "It's a relief to have an unprotected character to play. This guy's an open wound."
Newman sometimes ran away from his good looks, but never too far. He was sometimes cool to the swooning over his famous blue eyes, but in part that was because he couldn't see them himself. Newman was color blind.
"I would like it if people would think that...there's a spirit that takes action, a heart and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes," he told an interviewer once. "I picture my epitaph: "Here lies Paul Newman, who died a failure because his eyes turned brown."
It never happened. His eyes remained the bluest blue, his fans the truest blue. And Paul Newman died holding the coolest hand of all.

Meet the 'Larry King' of BlogTalkRadio
Alan Levy runs BlogTalkRadio and Cinchcast. He's trying to shake up the worlds of talk radio and conference calling at the same time. Courtesy of BlogTalkRadio
Cinchcast uses cloud technology to offer conference calls, webcasting and podcasts, for large number of users—perhaps even millions, according to VentureBeat. It competes against heavyweights Verizon, British Telecom and Intercall. Prices for these large subscriber calls are high, but Levy says Cinchcast discounts rates. He calls its technology "disruptive," which could shake up the industry.
Cinchcast and BlogTalkRadio, though running separate businesses, interconnect. "It's the same technology that powers Blog Talk and conference calls," Levy said.
If both businesses take off, Levy expects that he will need to raise more capital. "You want to raise more money when you're ready, the technology is in place and you have strategic partners," he said.
In addition, he's chairman of Xchange Telecom, a long-distance telephone provider. When, in fact, does Levy sleep? Not enough, he replied from his Bergen County home.
Back when he was an accountant in his early thirties, Levy, now 52-years-old, took the risk, resigned and started work as a CFO before turning into an entrepreneur. He's never looked back.

Australian Exchange to Open Singapore Office This Year
Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- ASX Ltd. will hire staff for a new office in Singapore this year as Australia's main exchange operator seeks to do more business with Asian hedge funds and proprietary traders.
"It will be a meaningful presence," Peter Hiom, Sydney-based deputy chief executive officer at ASX, said in an interview Jan. 31, adding that the Singapore office will focus on derivatives products. "There's an untapped opportunity for us in Southeast Asia."
Asia's third-largest listed exchange by market capitalization is expanding in derivatives, already its biggest source of revenue, as trading volumes for cash equities in its home market stagnate. Inflows into hedge funds are set to jump 25 percent this year to the most since 2007, Barclays Plc said last month, citing a survey of investors. CME Group Inc., the world's biggest listed exchange, and units of Deutsche Boerse AG, the fourth largest, have offices in Singapore as the firms jostle for a share of the Asian market.
ASX's expansion into Singapore comes about three years after it had an A$8.3 billion ($7.3 billion) merger with Singapore Exchange Ltd., Asia's fourth-largest listed exchange, vetoed by the government. The firm's international ambitions were dented when former Treasurer Wayne Swan rejected the tieup, saying the move amounted to a takeover and wasn't in the national interest.
The exchange will report results for the first half of the 2014 financial year on Feb. 13. Derivatives contributed 32 percent of total revenue in the year through June 30, 2013, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Client Clearing
ASX shares rose 20 percent in 2013, compared with a 3.6 percent gain for Singapore Exchange Ltd. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. slid 2 percent and Japan Exchange Group Inc. surged fourfold since it began trading last January through the end of the year. ASX gained 0.1 percent to A$35.66 in Sydney today, after a 3.1 percent monthly decline in January.
The bourse will in April start offering asset managers the ability to lodge collateral for derivatives trades with the exchange rather than their brokers, a product it's calling client clearing, Hiom said. Australian customers of a unit of MF Global Holdings Ltd., which collapsed in October 2011 after a $6.3 billion bet on bonds of some of Europe's most indebted nations, faced lengthy battles in foreign courts to get repaid.
"MF Global is just an example of why you have to focus on this," Hiom said. "But the reason is regulatory change globally."
Price Moves
Clearinghouses cut risk by collecting collateral to back each transaction, monitoring daily price moves and making traders put up more cash as losses occur.
